Jordana Cosmetics Modern Matte Lipsticks - Swatches and Review

Jordana Cosmetics has these new matte lipsticks and I recently found a few of them at Walgreens. The display didn’t have many left, but I bought four shades that looked like some that I would wear the most. The shades I have are: Matte Tease, Matte It Girl, Matte Dare, and Matte Style. See more photos and swatches below!

There are a lot of things I like about these, and only a few things that I don’t. The things I like about these lipsticks: Packaging, the way they smell, the color range, and affordable. Even though the packing is mostly plastic, I like the way they have the angled tip and a clear top so you can see the color. They also have a light vanilla smell to them which I really love. Jordana has made a great color range to choose from going to neutral to dark and bold. And you really can’t beat the price for some pigmented matte lipsticks.

A few things that were a bit of a miss: smoothness and wear time. I had trouble applying the darker shades and the smoothness for a matte lipstick wasn’t there. I had to really work with them to get the product even and not look like I had lipstick where I shouldn't. Wear time on these was also a miss. I had the lipstick on for a couple of hours and after eating and drinking, the color was almost gone. I had a stain from the darker shades, but the lipstick just looked uneven. Even with the few misses, I still ended up liking the way the lipsticks looked on my lips and knowing that there are some affordable matte lipsticks out there, made these good to have. Overall, I think Jordana Modern Matte Lipsticks are good quality for the price.

Jordana Cosmetics Modern Matte Lipsticks retail for $2.49 each and can be found on the website or at Walgreens stores.
